Is Stephen Curry or Damian Lillard better at shooting? I will dive in and see who has the better stats, but you will be the one to decide who is the better shooter. But first, we need to make sure that everyone knows who these people are. Stephen Curry is a point guard for the Golden State Warriors, and Damian Lillard is also a point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard are both outstanding shooters, especially at the three-point line. Stephen Curry is currently leading the NBA in the most threes made. Damian Lillard, on the other hand, has made 2,767 threes. Curry has 3,957. There is a big gap, as you can tell, but Stephen Curry has been a player longer than Dame. See, Curry was drafted in 2009, and Dame was drafted in 2012. There is a three-year gap, but does that matter? Is Dame better with consistency from behind the three-point line, or is Curry?
Well, to start with the stats from behind the three-point line, Damian Lillard this season has shot 37.1% from three. Now Curry, on the other hand, has shot 37.2% from three! He is shooting .1 percent better than Dame. Curry has shot way more threes this season than Dame. But as you can see, Curry is truly shooting better from three currently. But just threes don’t make a person a shooter, A shooter is someone who can shoot from everywhere, consistently making their shots.
Well, Damian Lillard is shooting 91.7% from the free-throw line. Curry is shooting 94.3% from the free-throw line. But the last thing that we need to find out is who is the better shooter from mid-range. Damian Lillard is shooting this season for mid-range at 43.9%. Curry, though, is shooting 47.1% from mid-range. So who is the better shooter??
I asked some people who they thought was the better shooter.
Jadon Bunting – Who do you think is the better shooter? Jadon said, “Stephen Curry because he has the three-point record.”
Colin Risk – Who do you think is the better shooter? Colin responded with, “Stephen Curry because he is just all around better.”
